Lady Smoke Audiobook Online Streaming (Ash Princess Trilogy #2)
Lady Smoke is the second audiobook in Ash Princess Trilogy by best-seller author Laura Sebastian. It is an epic new fantasy about a throne cruelly stolen and a girl who must fight to take it back for her people.
This book picks up right where Ash Princess left off. Theo is trying to get everything in order on her travels with Dragons-bane and her fleet. They are all looking for allies to take down the Kaiser and Cress.
Plot Summary
The Kaiser murdered Theodosia’s mother, the Fire Queen, when Theo was only six. He took Theo’s country and kept her prisoner, crowning her Ash Princess – a pet to toy with and humiliate for 10 long years. That era has ended. The Kaiser thought his prisoner weak and defenseless. He didn’t realize that a sharp mind is the deadliest weapon.
Theo no longer wears a crown of ashes. She has taken back her rightful title, and a hostage – Prinz Soren. But her people remain enslaved under the Kaiser’s rule, and now she is thousands of miles away from them and her throne.
To get them back, she will need an army. Only, securing an army means she must trust her aunt, the dreaded pirate Dragonsbane. And according to Dragonsbane, an army can only be produced if Theo takes a husband. Something an Astrean Queen has never done.
Theo knows that freedom comes at a price, but she is determined to find a way to save her country without losing herself.
About the Author
Laura Sebastian was born and raised in South Florida (the Redlands and Key Largo) and has always loved telling stories – many apologies to her little brother who often got in trouble because of them. No copies of her first book, a Cinderella retelling about angels circa 2nd grade, remain. Thankfully.
When Laura isn’t writing, she’s probably reading, baking cookies or cupcakes, buying more clothes than her overstuffed closet can fit, or forcing her lazy dog Neville to take a walk.
Her debut Ash Princess, the start of a YA fantasy trilogy, published on April 24th, 2018 from Delacorte (Random House).
Audiobook Review
This audiobook has exceeded my expectations. Usually, in a trilogy, there’s always the chance where the second book suffers from Second Book Syndrome. This one is slower than the first but I think that’s due to world-building and answering questions from the first book.
To me, Lady Smoke Audiobook Mp3 was a pretty damn good installment to the Ash Princess trilogy. It’s not perfect, but the story and Theo do make up for it by showing us what Theo has to do in harsh times as well as diving into how cruel the world can be. Readers will grow more attached to the characters in this one than they were in the first, but a couple of things were predictable. However, the predictability did not take anything away from the story or the enjoyment of the story. Just a very good sequel and that ending.
Would recommend for girls and young women ages 16+ due to the amount of violence and some mild references to rape/sexual abuse. Contains mild swearing but it was pretty scarce (in case anyone is triggered or doesn’t like the occasional, but rare, cursing). I’m really looking forward to the final audiobook – Ember Queen.
